Ann is a wonderful woman whom<br />
he met through bridge games at<br />
Lake Barrington Shores. Chuck was<br />
eighty-six at the time, and Ann was<br />
almost eighty. They surprised many<br />
of their bridge and tennis friends.<br />
In May, after many good years<br />
with few major physical problems,<br />
Chuck finally had an operation and<br />
some serious trips to the hospital.<br />
He is gradually recovering, but it’s<br />
taking much longer than he had<br />
expected.<br />

Frederick C. Neidhardt, Tucson,<br />
Arizona, tells us he has completed<br />
an exhilarating three-year term on<br />
the <strong>Kenyon</strong> Alumni Council. He<br />
writes, “I saw anew the college that<br />
had been a monastery of scholasticism<br />
on the Hill during my life<br />
there from 1948-52. Without losing<br />
any of the virtues of the <strong>Kenyon</strong><br />
experience from those ancient days,<br />
the <strong>College</strong> has morphed into a<br />
remarkable new place to enrich the<br />
lives of young men and women.”<br />
Fred states that his experience on<br />
the council would have been a joy<br />
to any alumni of his era whether<br />
or not they have maintained close<br />
contact with the <strong>College</strong>.<br />
